I am a writer, geologist, newspaper columnist and blogger.
I was born and bred in Malaysia, but I've also lived in the UK and Australia.
I enjoy traveling, music, reading, writing, yoga, hiking, diving, cooking, eating.
Basically I am the happiest when I am outdoors, going for adventures, trying new food, exploring new places, and like any other typical writer I like getting to know people's stories and lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I signed up for Couchsurfing years ago but never did anything with it. Recently, a friend recommended that I try it as I am planning to travel around soon for some work inspiration. Getting to know people living different lives in different parts of the world could be inspiring!
